Research interests: Modeling, optimization and control toward low-carbon and autonomous energy, transportation and other interconnected, complex systems. Particular focuses are on renewables and distributed energy resources, smart grid, intelligent transportation, multi-agent systems, graph theory, artificial intelligence, and decentralized optimization.
My research theme is Modeling, Analysis, Optimization, and Control of Complex and Networked Systems. The research goal is theoretical approaches for the modelling, exploration, analysis, and optimal, robust and resilient decision-making for complex and networked systems. To achieve that, a variety of mathematical framework will be employed, for example, dynamical systems and their stability theories, linear and nonlinear optimization, graph theory, control theory, differential geometry, bifurcation theory, and artificial intelligence.
Particular application areas include smart grid, smart cities, renewable and distributed energy systems, cyber-physical systems, wireless power transfer, intelligent and decarbonized transportation systems, bio systems for clean energy production and carbon capture. An illustration for smart grids, an example of such complex systems, is depicted in Fig. 1.
